dc.description.abstractThe current research investigates whether moral obligation and perceived close vs. distant risks of high vs. moderate risk collective actions are associated with willingness to participate in collective action in the case of Turkey. Two studies were conducted: one with re-placed university students after the July 15, 2016 coup d'état attempt (high-risk context; N₁ = 258) and one with climate strikes (moderate risk context; N₂ = 162). The findings showed that moral obligation predicts collective action in both studies, however, the strength of this relationship is contingent on the level of subjective likelihood of protest risk in the high-risk collective action (Study 1), but not in the moderate-risk collective action (Study 2). Study 2 extended the findings of Study 1 by showing that higher perceived climate crisis risks (e.g., extinction of many species, destroying the vast majority of vital resources; distant risk), but not risks of protest (e.g., being arrested, blacklisted; close risk) predicts higher willingness to participate in collective action. We discussed the role of moral obligation and different risk perceptions (e.g., distant, close, moderate, high) on climate movements and collective action of marginalized groups in repressive political contextsgl
dc.description.abstractBu araştırma ahlaki yükümlülük ve algılanan risk türlerinin (yakın vs. uzak) farklı risk düzeylerindeki kolektif eylemlere (yüksek vs. orta risk) katılma niyetiyle ilişkisini Türkiye bağlamında incelemektedir. İlki 15 Temmuz 2016 darbe girişimi sonrası üniversiteleri KHK’lar ile kapatılan üniversite öğrencilerini (yüksek riskli eylem; N₁ = 258), ikincisi ise iklim grevlerini (orta riskli eylem; N₂ = 162) merkeze alan iki çalışma yürütülmüştür. Bulgular ahlaki yükümlülüğün kolektif eylemleri iki çalışmada da yordadığını, ancak, bu iki değişken arasındaki ilişkinin kuvvetinin yüksek riskli eylem bağlamında (Çalışma 1) algılanan protesto riski düzeyine bağlıyken, orta-düzey riskli eylemlerde (Çalışma 2) bundan etkilenmediğini ortaya koymuştur. Çalışma 2 ayrıca algılanan yüksek iklim riskinin (uzak risk algısı; örn. birçok türün soyunun tükenmesi, yaşamsal kaynakların yok edilmesi) daha yüksek kolektif eylem niyetiyle ilişkili olduğunu, ancak algılanan protesto riskinin (yakın risk algısı; örn. gözaltına alınmak, fişlenmek) orta-düzeyde riskli eylemlere katılma niyetiyle ilişkili olmadığını ortaya koymuştur. Bu doğrultuda, ahlaki yükümlülük ve farklı risk algılarının (örn. uzak, yakın, orta, yüksek) riskli politik bağlamlarda iklim hareketi ve tehdit altındaki kolektif eylemler üzerindeki rolünü tartıştıkgl
dc.description.abstractEn esta investigación se analiza si la obligación moral y los diferentes tipos de riesgo percibido (próximo versus distante) de diferentes acciones colectivas con diferentes niveles de riesgo (alto versus moderado) están asociados con la intención de participar en acciones colectivas en el contexto de Turquía. Se realizaron dos estudios: uno con estudiantes universitarios recolocados tras el intento de golpe de estado del 15 de julio de 2016 (contexto de alto riesgo; N₁ = 258) y otro con huelgas contra el cambio climático (contexto de riesgo moderado; N₂ = 162). Los hallazgos mostraron que la obligación moral predice la acción colectiva en ambos estudios. Sin embargo, la fuerza de esta relación depende del nivel de probabilidad subjetiva de riesgo de protesta en la acción colectiva de alto riesgo (Estudio 1), pero no en la acción colectiva de riesgo moderado (Estudio 2). El Estudio 2 amplió los hallazgos del Estudio 1 al mostrar que los mayores riesgos de crisis climática percibidos (p. ej., extinción de muchas especies, destrucción de la gran mayoría de los recursos vitales; riesgo distante), pero no los riesgos de acción (p. ej., ser arrestado, incluido en la lista negra; riesgo próximo) predice una mayor intención de acción colectiva. Discutimos el papel de la obligación moral y las diferentes percepciones de riesgo (p. ej., distante, próximo, moderado, alto) en los movimientos contra el cambio climático y las acciones colectivas en contextos políticos de riesgogl
